Science songs!

Posted by Sari

There should be more science songs. World would be a better place. So here are some of my favorites

They Might be Giants: Why Does the Sun Shine?
It is a cover for an old science song for kids from the 1960s.

Monty Python: Universe Song
You know this one, right?

Tom Lehrer: New Math
Would it not be great if somehow Tomfoolery could be done in Finnish?

Tom Lehrer: The Elements
This is a flash animation. Just so as you know.

Jonathan Coulton: Mandelbrot Set
Visit also Coulton's own site, full of funny and geeky songs

Flanders&Swann: The First and Second Law
Woe is me! Could not find it online, and it is my favourite science song ever, and wholly responsible for the fact that I actually remember the second law of thermodynamics. Here are at least the lyrics.

There she goes

The Venus transit is going on! Right now! And it is cloudy in Helsinki. Quel surprise. Oh well, you can still catch it on the web, from BBC f.ex. And remember kids, if you do watch it, remember to use appropriate protection so as not to damage your eyes...

Ja jos olette tosi aktiivisia Tähtitorninmäellä voi käydä tiiraamassa tapahtumaa.
